3 Claims. (Cl. 206-44) My invention relates to cartons for shipping that one or more of said tops will be easily visismall containers and for displaying them after ble regardless of the angle from which one looks shipment. The invention has for its principal at the carton. In addition, the containers as objects a carton in which the small containers a group are arranged in an attractive pattern.

8 are so mounted as to be securely held during When the carton is on display,a panel or cover 5 shipment and yet are attractively mounted for flap 6 is raised up to expose the containers d and display purposes after shipment. The invention forms a suitable background for the containers consists principally in a carton having slots in that will be covered with suitable descriptive and its body in which small containers may be mountadvertising matter. In shipment, said panel is ed edgewise and a cover which may be folded folded over against the containers. 10 over against the edges of said containers during In Fig. 9 is illustrated the blank from which shipment, and which may be straightened up aftthe carton is made. The upper panel is the diser shipment to expose the containers and to display and cover flap ii which is hingedly conplay suitable advertising matter. The invention nected with the top body panel 2 along a. score 1 further consists in the display and shipping carline 1.
